(April 2011, screening at the 2011 Newport Beach Film Festival)
Directed by: George C. Schellenger
Featuring: Dr. Guy Harvey, Wyland, Jim Abernethy and “Emma” (a 14-foot tiger shark); narrated by: Dr. Sylvia Earle
Dedicated to shark ambassadors and supported by a variety of foundations, this might be the only shark film to begin in Central Park. Jim Abernethy, standing at the Manhattan reservoir, is on a mission to re-engage with the public to address its misperception of sharks. Then a trio of artists descend on the Bahamas to begin their goal of re-educating others and together assemble an accessible film about the power and beauty of a creature demonized for its mechanical killing ability, mostly thanks to an actual mechanical shark, “Jaws.”
Rob Stewart’s 2006 effort, “Sharkwater,” was an impressive, difficult-to-watch documentary that sounded the call to save sharks from overfishing and heinously inhumane treatment. “This Is...

International conservation artists aim to prove that film can change the world.
Update 4/8/11: The world premier of the conservation documentary This is Your Ocean - Sharks will be held at the Newport Beach Film Festival on April 29th.
Many of us have regular 9-to-5 jobs that keep us afloat as we steadily plug away at our industry careers. My own paycheck stems from the wonderful work I get to do for two of the biggest names in ocean conservation and marine life art, Wyland and Guy Harvey.
Imagine my delight when I got wind that the talented individuals who helped to create my own job were journeying into the realm of documentary filmmaking, with a new film This is Your Ocean - Sharks.
Wyland, whose 100 Whaling Walls spread across the globe bring awareness to the plight of endangered cetaceans, and Dr. Guy Harvey (founder of the Guy Harvey Research...

Beginning in October, the Shark-Free Marina Initiative will embark on it’s largest membership campaign throughout the United States and the Bahamas in order to save sharks.
Sharks are disappearing from our oceans at an alarming rate. Therefore, the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, The Humane Society of the United States, and various other organizations have teamed up with the Shark-Free Marina Initiative (Sfmi) for a singular, historic purpose: to reduce worldwide shark mortality. Sfmi certifies sport fishing and resort marinas as ‘Shark-Free’ thereby prohibiting any shark from being landed at their dock.
“Sfmi works directly with the recreational and commercial fishing community to send a clear message,” says Luke Tipple, Managing Director and Sfmi founder. “As shark populations are decimated on a global scale we as a species are obligated to pay attention and reduce our wasteful destruction of these incredibly important animals.”
